A MURDER AT RAHWAY.
The Victim n Young German &omni
-ThnuhAmda Sec aha ERndR

The Victim a Young German Woman
Thousands Sec ahe Body.
RAILWAY, N. j., MARCH ga horrible
murder occurred here some time last
uight ON jefferson avenue on the western
side Of the city. At an early hour this
morning farmer who was driving into
the city found the dead body of we'll
dressed woman lying at one side of the
avenue. Her throat was cut from ear to
ear and her dress and wrap were COM
The news of the horrible discovery
spread rapidly throughout the CITY caus-
ing intense excitement.
DIR. James s. Green of Elizabeth, county
physician Of Union county and brother OF
Governor Green, was autographed for and
visited the scene of the murder. He said
the young woman had undoubtedly made
a desperate struggle for life as the soft
earth was torn up for some distance
around the body. On one side of the body
lay small basket filled with fresh eggs.
The girls hands were torn and scratched.
Death resulted from the terrible wound
in the throat. An excited crowd of men
and women numbering several hundreds,
was to be seen grouped about the body.
DR.. Green decided not to remove the
body until II had been photographed as
1t lay In the huge pool of blood, and
ordered a photographer 10 visit the scene
of the murder and take number of views
of the body, the trampled ground and
the surroundings. The dead girl was
about 26 years old, and her appearance
indicates that she was of German birth.
Up to noon the body had been viewed by
several thousand persons, but none could
identify it.
No further light has been thrown upon
the mystery of the murder at Railway,
New Jersey. A well-dressed woman
called at the Prince street station in New
York Monday and said she believed the
victim was her daughter, because of the
description of the murdered girls teeth,
hair, clothing, and a piece of jewelry
found near her, which corresponded 10
that Of her daughter, whom she last saw
six weeks ago. Her daughter ran away
from home two years ago and welded o
man who efterward she learned had been
married before. The girl never told
whore she lived. Her daughter, the
woman said, had threatened to leave her
husband, and he had threatened to kill her
II she did. The woman would give no name
but said she would go TO Railway the next
day. The chief Of police of Railway said
Monday that every clie he had worked
upon thus far proved TO be false. A con.
stable from Crawford arrived in Railway
later and was closeted with the chief. He
claimed to have information that the
murderer was q young man living in
Railway.
The body of the murdered woman at
Railway, New Jersey, remains unidenti
fed. Mrs. Priestly, the woman who Wis
tied the Prince street station, In New York,
went to Railway, Tuesday, but did not
identity the body. There is also no cline
as vet TO the murderer.

who was referee In the prize-hght between

Philadelphia last night for the Police
CARTE diamond belt and $500, arrived

His description of the escape Of the spec

place is interesting. He was arrested on
the roof of building adjoining that in
which the fight took place but finally
gave the officers the slip.
Harding says the battle was the best
ever fought since Billy Edwards and Sam
Collyer fought, and that both Mitchell
and Smith are we'll worthy to fight for
championship honors. He declared the
fight draw because both men were re-
peatedly guilty of fonls and the crowd
would not leave the ring. 1t is his opinion
that Mitchell might have won had the
crowd kept still and not attracted the
police.
